Be it known that 1, MICHAEL F. Concosiu r, a. citizen of time UnitedStates of America, and; n. resizient oi Stoneixam, in the e county ofMitiiesex and State oi Messw oiiusetts have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Counter-Display Feltiing Boxes, of which thefollowing is s speoi fioetion.

This invention relates to folding boxes stiepteti to oispiay upon acounter, erticiee for seie, and has for its object the produo tTion oio, evioe oitiiis oimrseter which wiii eerve as e container for saidarticles during 15 storage and transooi'tetion and which may be openedup quiiil to uncovei' the goods. the cover for the box then forming a 3yone at the rear of the box noon which suitable advertising matter may beshown.

Tine invent-ion consists rimeriiy of a folding box sea eover there "orboth formeci .i'rom s. single Eoienk, said cove iisvingen incisiontherein? formin. a (iispis'y panel "eciapted to efiend upwer 1y whenssiri cover is folded up at the rear of the box.

The invention' further consists of s. f0idable box, the cover of Whioiiis proviiied with e display panel exposed to view Whether the box isciosefi or open.

The invention further able box, the cover of which is provided with a,foidoonneoteci to two foic'is beneath the box and sciaoteai td'iie movedmietiveiy to said box to em! wiifii said two folds a triangular supportst the rear of the box. The invention further consists in providiog saidtriangular support with a slit to reoeive a locking clip formed in thebottom of the box. v

The invention further consists in certein novel features of eonstiuotioi eni arrangement of parts which was be understood resciiiy by referenceto the description of the so consists of a fold drawings and to theclaims to be hereinafter given.

For tiie'pm'pose of illustrating the invention, one preferred formthereof is iiius irate; in, the drawings, this form having been founc'ito give satisfactory and reliable results although it is to the variousinstrumentaiities of which the invention consists can be variouslyarranged and. organized anti the invention is not 11mbe umierstoot'ithat GGUIFTTERDISELh'S!

The rectangular portion. ii is adapted to form the bottom of thecontainer. 5

In one one or? tile biank it), slits 12 are out to form an extension 13miepted/to be folder}. on time tiottoci iines i i, 15 and 1%., to formthe front of the box in .two thickmesses s5 indicsteii in Fi 4: of thedrawings, the outer end i? of this extension resting upon the'bottom 1i.

EetWe'en the two thiciznesm of the front Wail of the box, arepositionefi the Wings 18 forming. part of the side extensions 19 andioioisbie on the ciotteti iines 2G. 3

These side extensions it :ioidabie on tile Eiotteci lines to, form theside weiis of the box oi? two tiiioiziiosses.

The" outer portion 23 each sidfe extension 19 is foidebie on the(iotteii line 2& so that the e116. portion 23 may rest upon the hottom.oi the ioox ssindioated in Figs.

3 to 5 inoiusive.

When the 300:: is being foideci end portions 23 are inserteri beneaththe ears 25 formezi in the bottom 11, Sfiiii outer end portions 23having longitudinal creases 26 therein which facilitate the insertion ofthe ends 23 beneath the ears 25.

Due enci of tixeee ens. portions 533 ins rests the outer "we with ears3O foldable on the dotted lines upon the end. portion i? of the frontwall of the box and-prevents its displacement.

One or'. the side eiitensions, 19 has a long wing 27 extending from theend thereof foldable on the dotted lines 28 and 29, the portion abetween the dotted lines 28 and 29 forming one thickness of the backwall of the hon, while the portion 3; between the dotted linoj 29 andthe outer end of said wing is adaptedto be inserted between the two onthe dotted lines 86, 37, 38, 39, 40 and ell.

The portion 6 between the dotted lines I 36 and 37 is adapted to restagainst the I bottom of the box and against this folded portion 6 theportion f, bet wen the dotted lines 37 and 38, is adapted to rest.

The portion g, between the dotted lines 38 and 39, is normallypositioned between the portion a' of wing "27 and the ears 20,

while the portion h, h between the'dottcd lines 39 and 41 formsa coverto the box with the portion 11 between the dotted line 41 and the outerend of this extension folded down in contact with the front wall of thebox. This portion 71 is locked to the front wall of the box by theprojection 4% being inserted into the slit 43 formed in the extension13.

"With the blank folded toform a box, as indicated in Fig. 2 of thedrawings, the car 44 formed in the bottom 11 extends into the slit 45and retains in position the folded portions 6, f beneath the bottom ofsaid box. V

The long extension 32 has an incision 46 cut therein forming a panel. 47of any desired shape, and said extension 32-is provided with anotherincision 48 forming: a supporting; ear 49 on which the Wing 27 is adaptd to rest when the box is opened and adjusted into position to beinclined upon a counter with the cover portion folded back to form adisplay panel at the rear of the box as indicated in Figs. 5 and 6 ofthe drawings.

While in storage or transportation, the articles to be sold are packedwithin the box with the cover closed as indicated in Fig. 2 of thedrawings.

' vlVhen it is desired extension 32 on the dotted lines 39, and

to display the goods ,upon the counter, the salesman detaches the massesforces the extension downwardly until the ear 49 is below the wing 27and then moves this ear is outwardly, the extension 32 then beingadjusted so that the wing 27 will rest upon said ear as. shown in Fig.6.

The portion it between the dotted lines Y35 and 39, will then be betweenthe wing 27 and the cars 30. y

The extension 32 is then folded on the dotted lines 40, and then theportion 11 thereof, between the dotted line ll and the outer end of saidextension 32, is positioned against the front face of the portion k andbetween this portion h and the ears 30.

Owing to the crease 35 formed in the extension 32, the panel betweensaid crease 35- and dotted line 41 may be inclined to any desired anglerelatively to the rear wall of the box.

On the front face of this panel at the rear of the box, any suitableadvertising matter may be displayed.

'When the extension 32 has been pushed .down until the ear 4L9 isbeneath the wing 27, a triangular support is formed beneath the boxthereby causing it to be raised into such an inclined position as tobest dis;-

play the contents of the box.

This triangular support is locked in position. by means of the ear 49engaging the wing 27 and by means of the car 44; ex-

tending into the slit 5.

The entire box and cover are formed from a single blank and owing to themanner in which the various .portions are folded to form the container,said blank may be constructed from material only finished upon one sideas both in opened or closed condition the finished side is alwaysoutward.

As a consequence the box may be formed of less expensive material thanthe foldable boxes now in general use and when it is desired to printmatter upon the box, the printing can all be done at one operation asall parts exposed to view-in the finished box are on the same side ofthe blank.

This makes a 'very rigid box to contain small articles for sale andduring shipment and it is obvious that the box can be very quickly andreadily adjusted to display the contents thereo'f'upon a counter withoutin any manner displacing the contents of the tacting with the bottom ofsaid box, thereby forming a support for one end of said box.

2. A collapsible paper box provided with a cover connected at one end tothe bottom of the box by a plurality of foldable portions which areadapted, when the cover is lifted, to be moved into triangular relationto each other with the upper face of one portion contactin with thebottom of said box; ther: by orming a su port for one end of said box,and means or-locking said foldable portions in adjusted position.

and provided with an ear adapted for insel ,ion between the twothicknesses of the r posite side wall of the box; and an ear in thebottom of the box for insertion in said foldable portions to retain themin triangular relation to each other.
